Top Trades for Wed, 20 Mar 2019 15:50 – BNS

FDX bouncing back a bit but I decided I don't like them enough to play the short puts again.  

In the Webinar, someone pointed out BNS and they are a lovely bank!

Profitability

What's not to love?  $67.25Bn at $54.85 and they are dropping $8.7Bn to the bottom line while paying a lovely $2.65 (5%) dividend!  Apparently, on the Toronto Exchange, they have options out to 2021 so they could even be a good Butterfly play for Canadians but, in the US, options only go out until Sept but still worth it so, for the LTP let's:

  • Buy 500 shares of BNS at $54.85 ($27,425) 
  • Sell 5 BNS Sept $55 calls for $2 ($1,000) 
  • Sell 5 BNS Sept $55 puts for $2.80 ($1,400) 

That's net $25,025 ($50.05/share) and $52.525 if assigned 500 more below $55.  Of course, it's just a 6-month sale so we should be able to drop the net another $5 into next March plus the $2.65 dividend brings us down to net $42.50 if all goes well in our first year.

As a long-term investment, if we can drop our net (including dividends captured) by even 10% a year - we're 10 years away from having a free stock.
